Hi,
I live in Belgium and I have 2 Austin-Healey's. A "frog-eye" which I own already since 1974, for the restoration of that car we took the engine of one car and for the body we used another. At that time you could find practical nothing for spare parts. I did the restoration for a second time 10 years ago. The first time the frog was painted brown (a typical color at that time); now the frog is red.
My second AH is an BN1, for the moment I'm busy with the restoration. It's an early BN1 directly delivered in Belgium. For the moment the car is ready for the base code. Engine is in progress and also the gearbox. I hope to finish the car before the end of 2021.

Welcome to BCF IVOM! That's a really nice looking "Frogeye" you have there. You can discuss that car in our "Spridgets" forum and the BN1 you can discuss in our Austin Healey forum. Be sure to check out those two forums!

Your “frog” brings back so many memories. I had a 1959 in that color. It looks great
